Although it was the very first trek of his life, he did it without any difficulty. Thus, he realized that he was born to experience something adventurous in life. So, he started working in the trekking industry of Nepal.

Although he took a break for almost a year, he heard the mountain calling him again and again. So, he rejoined the tourism industry and has been involved in it untiringly till

the date. After surviving the Annapurna Blizzard 2014, he decided to continue his study that was halted due to his personal problem.
